I bought the Honda, it started up fine. I drove it around once or twice and it died on me. I realized i ran out of gas, i put gas in and it would start and die out on me. I replace the batterey and clean the carb. Now it turns over and dies right away. I damage two of the slow jets in the carb. Not bad, just a little crushed in. could that be it?

Here is a video of me starting the bike.

And here is a album of pictures of the bike.

It's trying to start, sounds like it starts with the choke.

How did you smash pilot jets? They should be REPLACED in a bike that old anyway, they have tiny openings that get corrosion and crud accumulated around them and reduce fuel flow, and you got aftermarket pipes on it so it needs more fuel than stock.

Check fuel flow from the tank, maybe the screen is plugged with rust and crap.
